Hope Mandala Framed Print

Feng Shui means “wind/water” and is the ancient art aligning objects with the forces of nature to enhance our lives. Energy or “qi” (pronounced “chi”) is all around us and can be harnessed to improve the quality of our everyday lives.

The energy in our homes and around our person can enhance or impede our lives. Our prosperity; fame and reputation; Love and relationships; family; health; creativity and children; wisdom (skills and knowledge); career; and helpful people and travel are all affected by qi.

In feng shui, the home is divided into 9 zones called the bagua. Each section influences a different aspect of our lives. So you want to make sure the energy is positive and powerful to help you achieve your aims in life. For example, if you wanted to attract new love into your life, you would enhance the back, right section of your home which effects relationships and love. You attract good energy, first by clearing a space and removing negative influences, and then by intentionally placing items in the space that represent the outcome you want to achieve. Feng Shui Mandalas help attract positive energy to your space. Not only are they beautiful, but they are created using symbols, colors, and objects that are harmonious with your intentions.

What are Mandalas?

Mandala comes from a Sanskrit word meaning "circle” or "completion” and represents the Cosmos. Mandalas are used as spiritual teaching tools, to establish a sacred space, and as an aid to meditation. Plus they can attract positive energy to your person or your space.

Hope has the power to buoy us up during difficult times but it is also powerful when times are good because it helps us imagine something better. We can have infinite hopes for the future and that hope helps us to actually create a better reality inspired by our hope for something wonderful.
